Hey there guys,
I'm not interested in hijacking GettinUglySon's thread yet it caused me to think about what I do. I 'catch and release' when I fish alone and 'catch and sometimes give' to others if I'm fishing in a group.
It would be difficult to do on a sportfishing open-party boat but having a C & R policy on a private boat would be simple.
Wouldn't it be cool to allow C & R in MLPAs. Only PBers would be allowed in the areas and target species could be limited by depth restrictions. Just think how much more fishing area C&R anglers would gain AND ...... how much less other areas fish stocks would be fished.
Maybe most people who have a boat are usually motivated to have one to get fish ... among other things BUT ..... think of the quality fishing one would have a better chance at by being able to fish the MLPA's up and down the coast that experience little pressure presently.
